in Boston regarding the distribution deal which Portnoy believes is unlikely to take place due to MLB's reluctance as a conservative league and traditional fans' disdain for the potential deal with Barstool Sports.
"Barstool is a lightning rod for so many people. I've never totally understood it," Portnoy told Hill."Especially in today's world, there's tons of people who love us and I'd say there is a small vocal minority that despises us.""If I had to put a number on it, I'd say 10 percent," Portnoy stated, adding that he'd love to strike a deal with the MLB.
David Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, speaks during a radio broadcast prior to Super Bowl LIV on January 30, 2020 in Miami Beach, Florida. Portnoy is speaking out regarding talks of his network and Major League Baseball striking a distribution deal to air Major League Baseball games.Portnoy ended by discussing how the details of the potential deal being leaked to various media outlets influenced alleged sports non-fans to voice their opinions about Barstool Sports.
"Even when that [the deal] leaked out, Hey, Barstool might cover Major League Baseball, the people who don't like us, who probably 99 percent of them don't watch sports anyway, went absolutely bananas," Portnoy added."I think there's a chance, but there's still a long way to go." "My guess is, somebody wanted to leak a weather balloon and be like, Alright, how much backlash are we going to get from the same group who whenever we do anything, is basically like, these guys stink," he added.
